Annual Report of the Tuapeka Branch.

Office-Bearers, 1882-83.

President: Mr. Robt. Neill.

Secretary: Mr. W. Macandrew,

I have the honour to report for the year 1882-83 as follows:—

The lectures in Dunedin during the winter months interfered seriously with the meeting of this branch.

Seven meetings have been held during the year, which have been fairly attended. The following papers were read and discussed Mr Selby on Reading, and Mr Alnutt on Leading and Driving. The papers were usually read one day, and the discussion took place the following meeting.

Several interesting subjects were taken up for discussion, and, on the whole, the members have taken a lively interest in the meetings.

William Macandrew, Secretary.
